Flowing through the disputed area of Ladakh, Shyok River is a famous destination where you can try your hands in rafting.

The splash of cold water on your face while you raft on the fierce river should be experienced at least once in your lifetime.

The former capital of Ladakh, Leh is a district in Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is believed to be the 2nd largest after Kutch in Gujarat in context to area. Nestles at a height of 3524 metres (approx. 11,562 ft), it bridges Srinagar to National Highway 1D and Manali in the south via Leh-Manali Highway. The weather is very cold and unkind during winters, thus causing frost bites. Thus, the best time to visit is from June, July, August and September.

Leh Ladakh is lush with its Willow and Poplar trees that are in full bloom in summers, which is the main tourist season. It is abuzz with cafes and eateries offering not only traditional Ladakhi cuisine but also Italian and German dishes. But keep in mind that the beauty of Leh is breathtaking quite literally, due to its high altitude.  You must acclimatize yourself for a day or two before venturing head on into the gamut of activities.
